Caution: To prevent damage, never load
Model S so that it is heavier than GVWR
or exceeds the individual GAWR weights.
Calculating Load Limits
1.
Locate the statement "The combined
weight of occupants and cargo should
never exceed XXX lbs or XXX kg" on the
"Tire and Loading Information" label.
2.
Determine the combined weight of all
occupants that will ride in the vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined weight of the
occupants from XXX lbs or XXX kg (see
Step 1).
4.
The resulting figure equals the available
cargo load capacity. For example, if the
"XXX" amount equals 1400 lbs (635 kg)
and there will be five 150 lb (68 kg)
passengers in the vehicle, the amount of
available cargo capacity is 650 lbs
(1400 ‑ 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs) or 295 kg
(635 ‑ 340 (5 x 68) = 295 kg).
5.
Determine the combined cargo weight
being loaded on the vehicle. That weight
must not exceed the available cargo load
capacity calculated in Step 4.
Warning: Trunks are the preferred places
to carry objects. In a collision, or during
hard braking and sharp turns, loose items
in the cabin could injure occupants.

Vehicle Loading
Example Load Limit Calculations
How much cargo Model S can carry depends
on the number and weight of passengers. The
following calculated load limit examples
assume passengers weigh 150 lbs (68 kg). If
passengers weigh more or less, available
cargo weight decreases or increases
respectively.
Driver and one passenger

Vehicle capacity weight
Subtract occupant weight
(2 x 150 lbs/68 kg)
Available cargo weight
Driver and four passengers
Description
Vehicle capacity weight
Subtract occupant weight (5 x
150 lbs/68 kg)
Available cargo weight
The cargo weight should be distributed
between the front and rear trunks.
Caution: Do not exceed the maximum
front trunk load weight of 300 lbs
(136 kg).
Caution: Never load more than 175 lbs (80
kg) on the rear load floor (above the
lower trunk compartment) or more than
285 lbs (130 kg) in the lower trunk
compartment. Doing so can cause
damage.
Towing a Trailer
Warning: Do not use Model S for towing
purposes. Model S does not support a
trailer hitch. Installing one could cause
damage and increase the risk of a
collision.
Caution: Using Model S for towing may
void the warranty.
